Spiced Pumpkin Cupcakes

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line an 18 cup muffin tray.
   

2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, Pumpkin Pie Spice, salt, baking powder, baking soda and the sugar. Set aside.
   

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs and milk. Then stir through the pumpkin.
   

4. Gently combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just mixed.
   

5. Pour the mixture into the muffin cups until they are 3/4 full.
   

6. Place in the oven and bake for 22 minutes, or until golden. Test that they're ready by using a skewer, and making sure it comes out clean.
   

7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pans for 5 minutes before removing to cool further on a wire rack.
